Sometime this past week somebody asked me if I could help to make some simple animations for a project. I took that as a challenge to implement a “simplest possible” animated sketching program.
The basic idea in my head was that if an animated drawing program is a poem, this would be a haiku. I was hoping to provide something so simple to use that people might use it casually during conversation, the way they use a whiteboard.
A few days later, here is what I’ve got so far. It doesn’t have lots of fancy features, but that’s sort of the point.
